Hi, I’m Lauren. I’m a Registered Clinical Nutritionist with over 5 years of experience within the healthcare industry. I’m dedicated to helping people optimise their health, wellbeing and lives by the philosophy of treating the whole person through an evidence-based and holistic approach.

My area of speciality includes but is not limited to chronic inflammation, autoimmune, mental health and digestive disorders. In addition to my Bachelor’s degree in Health Science (Nutrition and Dietetic Medicine), I plan to further my education with a Masters of Public Health to expand my knowledge and ability to empower people to improve their health.

I live in Melbourne’s east with my partner and energetic German shepherd, where we love to cook and go for walks in nature.
